In the framework of the LightMe EC project (http://lightme-ecosystem.eu/ ) we are organizing an Open Call for provision of services to SMEs, Large Enterprises, or other stakeholders in order to support them in the upscaling and technology maturity of novel concepts in the field of lightweight alloys (aluminum, magnesium and titanium) and their composites.
The LightMe OITB (Ecosystem) is an EU funding project targeting in the setting up of
an Open Innovation Test Bed providing services for the upscaling of materials and
products concept, related to lightweight alloys and their composites, that are already validated in
the labs.
The services concerns:
LightMe Ecosystem will provide its services at fair prices assisting companies to bring to the market their products in a safe and neutral Open Innovation Environment, promoting synergies and new market opportunities.
The LightMe project is launching an Open Call in order to receive proposals from applicants and after an evaluation process, host free of charge, 8 new test cases. The applications should concern propositions for upscaling novel concepts in the field of lightweight metals and composites, utilizing one or more of the pilot lines. The proposals should briefly describe the current technical status of the concept and what is required for the upscaling process, covering also the other services provided by the Ecosystem. Additionally, the innovation and market perspective of the concept should be described.
The call is open to legal entities registered in EC or EC affiliated countries having the status of private for-profit entity (Small & Medium Enterprises or Large Enterprises).
